Where are you going to be on Thursday?

If you're in the Seattle area, your best bet would be to come to the Edmonds Bookshop. Really, it's the best thing going between 5pm and 8pm this Thursday (ahem...) because it's time for this month's Edmonds Art Walk!

Yes, I'd participated in the February art walk. But there was a good chance that was a one-shot deal. Even so...
I walked into the Edmonds Bookshop. Turns out the book store owner, MK, chooses her own artist rather than being assigned someone for each art walk. She immediately loved the idea of Mixed-Media Dollhouses, and she opened up her calendar to find a place for me during this month's Edmonds Art Walk. I'll have copies of the book to sell, and the rooms on display are also for sale! 
 Including the Gothic attic -- yes, everyone's favorite!
Here's where you'll be headed:
 Here's the address: 111 5th Avenue South in downtown Edmonds.

Hurry! It's a popular stop on the art walk!

"Green" day


 
Selected scenes from last weekend's opening reception for the "It's Not Easy Being Green" art exhibit...
Mostly, I did what I do best--
run my mouth introduce myself to other artists, as well as to arts commissioners Pat Condon and Rennie Grossman.
Jennifer Kuhns and Patrick S. McKenna were awarded gift baskets from local businesses...
 ... for Jennifer's "Curtains of Ice Web" recycled glass and cabinet door piece (upper left)
... and Patrick's "Fronds," a tissue paper fern piece (lower left).
 
All the artwork is for sale, including "The Plumber's Jealousy" (email me at yolisalisa at g mail dot com if you're interested). You'll get a better idea of how it'll fit into your home by seeing it in person! (winkwink nudgenudge...)
All the artwork will be on display until November 18th at the Lynnwood main library gallery. "The Plumber's Jealousy" is in the display case on the right, just before the library doors.
Yeah, right there in the center of the second level.

It's coming this weekend...


A little behind-the-scenes action at the Lynnwood main library... installation day for the "It's Not Easy Being Green" exhibit.
Fred Wong and Marianne Johnson of the Arts Commission began set-up in the gallery a couple days ago. 
So while they unpacked, of course I had to take a look at some of the other "Green" artworks...

Remember, the opening is this Saturday, 11am to noon (and possibly a little over, since Fred and Marianne will be giving a bit of a tour of the pieces).
Let me know if I'll see you there: leave a comment here, or let me know on my Facebook fan page.
